Both swordsman and poet, Cyrano was capable of the grand passion. There was but one sizoble obstacle to his complete success — his nose. '"Tis o rock, o crag, a cape!" retorts Cyrano to a nobleman who has made fun of the nose but tacks Cyrano's wit. The 19th-centory French dramatist Rostand seized on Cyrano's sensitiveness about his nose and based his poignant romantic comedy on it. Rostand's Cyrano has found the love of his life in the fair Roxane. I But shall Roxane give her love to I a creoture with a proboscis like Cyrano's? Not likely. Cyrano, therefore, will do the next best thing. The soldier Christian, handsome but empty-headed, shall woo the maiden with Cyrano's romantic verses. Jose Ferrer repeats for television the role that won him resounding praise on the Broadway stage and on Oscar in the movies. Co-starring is Chaplin's leading lady of "Limelight," Claire Bloom. And in the role of Christian is Christopher Plummer, hit of the Shakespeare festival at Stratford, Conn. Cyrano Cast Cyrano de Bergerac. .. Roxane. Christian . Ragueneau . Duenna . Mother Marguerite.
